Where are the screws sahin?

Pull the rubber down, they are under it.

Sigh, so I had all my money sorted out to fix a few last things before getting the rwc and paying for rego, but then I had to buy a new laptop for uni so she continues to sit in the driveway looking pretty awaiting the day I save up the money again haha

The wait will make it all the sweeter.

ok so im after some help this time. The car is having trouble upon start up..

So basically whats happening is when I go to start the car, it starts up then dies instantly.. Then I turn the key to start it again and it sounds like its having more toruble starting and I have to hold the key turned for longer while pressing the accelerator in.

it struggles to start when I do this but it always starts eventually. it has smoke coming out of the exhaust as well but it dissapears very quickly.

Any ideas? sorry its kind of hard to explain haha

I'll let someone else with more knowledge chime in, but for my 2c good bet it's the starter motor. Or the alternator.

Its been sitting for a while, so id start to lean towards fuel being an issue. Lack of idle could well be the stepper motor.

ive been trying to start it every couple of days or so so keep it turning and to keep it from sitting too long..

and it idles fine after it starts up the second time :/

I dont know.. maybe I should record it and put a video up to help explain it haha

Yeah, but the octane level of the fuel is slowly dropping and the fuel may be starting to separate (I had this trouble recently with mine due to lack of driving).

oh ok, i'll try put some fresh fuel in it and see if that helps.. cheers

I chucked a bottle of injector cleaner in as well and that made it run much smoother, but you need to be able to drive it on a decent trip to get the benefit there.

hmm so been a while since ive updated this at all. thought id post some pics of the progress!

I bought some dc side skirts and front bar off sahin and started putting them on today

next up will be the front bar, its got a few cracks though so im thinking I should get someone to fix it up a little befire I put it on because it will probably make it easier!

Is it registered yet. Either way, you should come to the bonfire in just over a week. Let me know if you want directions...

looking good man

Looking good, and do bring it to the bonfire!

Well she's been registered for about a month now! (about time ) Been so busy with university but now I have a lot more time to put into it.

List of things to do;
-Fix and install the DC front bar
-Clear side indicators
-Front and possibly rear strut bars
-Install double din head unit, speakers, amp etc
-Fix roof rust (dont really want to)

Congrats.Is looking good
